British singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya has released ‘midnight sun’, a dream-pop outing that is the second track to come from her soon to be released album Painless which is due for release on 4th March.
Sharing the meaning behind “midnight sun”, Nilüfer says, “It’s a song about recognizing what it feels like to be pushed down but wanting to resist. I really like the imagery of ‘midnight sun’ as a lyric as it insinuates a light guiding you through darkness. The wings carry their own symbolism – freedom, lightness, flight, fantasy. If I could pick what people saw & heard it would be seeing the beauty of confrontation and the necessity of rebellion.”
In addition to releasing the new track and album Nilüfer is also going on tour with UK dates as follows:
- 03/10 – Glasgow, UK @ St Lukes
- 03/12 – Dublin, IE @ Whelans
- 03/14 – Manchester, UK @ Band On The Wall
- 03/15 – Bristol, UK @ Trinity
